"It’s really hard to find baby products that use nontoxic chemicals
that moms can trust. Major corporate brands that label their products
‘eco-friendly’ or ‘nontoxic’ are usually referring to the way they make
their packaging, not their product.”On her Spanish-speaking family of Mexican, American, French and Danish ancestry: “[They are] very conservative—a traditional, Catholic, Latin American clan.” On the influence of director Robert Rodriguez of Spy Kids 4 and Machete: “He
created a pathway for Latinos in pop culture because his movies aren’t
made for a specific demographic—they are just cool."The Honest Company’s cofounder, Christopher Gavigan, on Jessica’s life as a mom: “I
think most people think of celebrities as normal people living
extraordinary lives, but Jessica is an extraordinary person living a
normal life.”On choosing the right roles in Hollywood: “Honest
Company has weirdly allowed me to be more creative in my roles. And
really work with people I love and appreciate and want to learn from.
This is where my work is now. For me, acting was a lot about making the
right choices and trusting my instincts. I didn’t always listen to my
gut and make the right choice."
